SmolVM: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

SmolVM CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from CelestoAI/SmolVM. It costs 3 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of deepseek-harness CLAUDE.md, Apache-2.0.

A set of project instructions for SmolVM, an open-source system for running virtual machines through one interface. It covers virtual machine tools including Firecracker, QEMU, and libkrun.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when asking an agent to inspect, change, build, or test the SmolVM project.
Why use it?
It gives a coding agent the project context needed to work consistently in this codebase. Without that context, the agent may misunderstand the repository or its virtual-machine components.

About the project

SmolVM provides AI agents with separate, persistent virtual computers where they can run code, browse the web, and use desktop applications. Developers use these computers locally or through Celesto Cloud for agent development and production work, while the catalogue skills and instructions support operating the agent runtime.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

SmolVM CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to deepseek-harness CLAUDE.md — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
